We really enjoyed our stay at Knot a Care. It was very clean and well stocked. Community pool was nice and location was close to the beach. Short walking distance to the beach, souvenir stores, and places to eat.
Loved the touches like cooler backpacks to take to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you, Susan! We are so glad your family continues to choose Knot a Care for your vacation!
We had such a great stay! The house was beautiful and the just a short walk to the pool and private beach. The property manager was quick to respond and helpful when we had questions. Highly recommend “Knot a care” if vacationing In Destin!

We love this neighborhood and this was a great house in great shape. It's clear the owner takes great pride in this house and every detail was perfect. House even included a welcome basket with some snacks to get us going after a long drive.

Thank you for your review! We are glad you had a wonderful vacation and hope to host you again!
This was a family vacation consisting of 12 people.
There was plenty of room for everyone.
The kitchen was well stocked which was great.
Numerous full bathrooms is also a plus.
Easy quick walk to the beach.
The pool is also so close and easy to get to.
Laundry in the house was really helpful.
We would stay again.
The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for a group. We enjoyed how close the house was to the beach and how easy it was to walk to the Seascape resort where we were attending a concert. The house is about 2 blocks from the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. The community pool is just through the backyard and very easy to access. The house itself is well appointed with everything you need. Would recommend, particularly if you are attending a concert at Seascape and want more room and privacy than the resort.

Perfect getaway!
This was the 6th year my family has stayed at Frangista Retreat and as always everything was perfect. The home is very clean and is stocked with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. I honestly can't imagine staying down here in a different place. This has become our home away from home. Look forward to next year!

We are so glad to have you back! Look forward to hosting your family again next year. We have tried to think of everything to make it your home away from home and appreciate your feedback. Thanks again for choosing Frangista Retreat!
This home was perfect for us! So comfortable and had everything we needed for a great week! We had our three kids (12, 15 and 17) plus two of their friends with us and there was plenty of space for everyone. We loved the short walk to the beach, and also spent time at the community pool. Loved being within walking distance to ice cream, good food/drinks, shops. Overall I would highly recommend this property and we hope to be back someday!

Book this place! We had a group of 7 and had an amazing time. The location is prime time. You have privacy with and is the best distance from the beach. Legit 2 min walk max. Close walking to the stores and the coffee shop! If we come back we will be booking again.

This property is Amazing!
Our family had a wonderful time. This home is comfortable, clean, and very well stocked. Darby is a very accommodating host and so easy to communicate with. Our family of 6 adults and our 16-month-old grandson had plenty of room.
We would absolutely stay again!! Thank You!

Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your vacation and your grandson got to experience the beach for the first time at our house! We can’t wait to have back for another stay!
Loved our stay at Knot a Care! The house is darling; so well equipped and comfortable. We cooked most of our meals at home in the evenings. Great location with access to a lot of activities! The weather was sunny and beautiful most days, although a bit cool so we didn’t make use of the pool, but enjoyed the beach, walks, the state park and exploring the area! Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Knot a Care and hope you will choose to return for another vacation!
We love Frangista Beach. We go there at least once each year. It's nice to have smaller houses like this so just our immediate family can go, in comparison to all the giant multi-family houses (which we also use). This house was well stocked with all the essentials and had plenty of living space. Our boys (4 and 7) loved the bunk room. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze and ownership was very responsive to the one phone call I had to make to them.

Thank you for your review and for rebooking for next year! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! And this year, chair rentals extend through November!
Stayed here with my family and my aunt and her family and it was a great place for our annual family vacation! Location was great and close walking distance to beach and pool. Awesome that we had 2 chairs and an umbrella on the beach with our stay so it was super convenient for anyone wanting to hang out on the beach for a little while without having to drag a bunch of stuff. Nice walking distance to a few stores and coffee shop. Close driving distance to everything. The house was very clean and the rooms were much bigger than they appeared in photos. Plenty of bathrooms for a larger group. Great place to stay!

Some houses look great on the listing and don't deliver in reality. This is not one of those houses. It's really pretty perfect. The kitchen is truly nicely stocked--many properties promise this but fall short. The house is as cute as it looks in the photos and is super close to the beach and even closer to the neighborhood pool. I'd happily stay here again.

Thank you for your very kind review, Jeff! We are so glad you had a wonderful vacation and hope to have you stay at Knot a Care again!
Our beach house was spacious, clean, and well taken care of. We enjoyed our stay. When we asked if we could stay a day longer, the owner made it easy. My only complaint would be that we were provided with only 1 kitchen garbage bag, and one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. This meant our first trip to the grocery store had to include household items as well as food.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We are sorry for any confusion about household items. We include that information in our listing, but it can definitely get lost in the details!
This house was clean and had all the amenities you could ask for. Unfortunately it rained a lot but we found fun things to keep us occupied. The owner was very responsive and even had some household items like garbage bags, laundry pods and hand soap available. We rent frequently and this isn't always the case. The neighborhood rocks and their is an amazing coffee shop and ice cream store right around the corner. I highly recommend.

Thank you for your review! Hoping you have better weather for your next stay! I hope you saw all the games in the coffee table chest for rainy days.
We absolutely loved our stay at Knot-a-Care!
The house itself was decorated perfectly for a beach house! It is so cute inside and out. We loved sitting on the porch in the mornings and evenings. You can tell the owners take pride in this house and keep it clean and tidy for each guest.. The kitchen was well equipped for our cooking needs. The bedroom setup is great- especially with small children!
The location is great- a very short walk to the private beach access, steps away from the community pool (out the back door) which was very nice to take a break from the beach!
It also is a very short walk to our favorite coffee shop in the area and some cute shops we found.
We would definitely love to book here again in the future!

A true home away from home
My family absolutely loved staying at this location. When we arrived we instantly felt at home. The place is extremely spacious for the 8 of us that stayed and had everything we could have needed. Most mornings started off with early morning coffee on one of the porches and then a very short walk to either the beach (where we had our complimentary umbrella and chairs set up) or to the pool (almost located in the back yard). And with so much to do in the Miramar Beach location we were so close to all of our favorite restaurants and places we love to take our kids. We have already started planning our trip for next year and will be looking to stay in this same house when we do. If you're wondering if you should or shouldn't....you absolutely should.

About the host
Hosted by Darby L Temple
The Temples and Wynnes have enjoyed vacationing together for several years and decided to buy a vacation home together at one of the most beautiful beaches around. We love the sugar sand and turquoise water of the Gulf in Miramar Beach. Our favorite thing about this home is that you get the feel of a small, quaint town like Seaside in the Frangista Beach neighborhood without giving up the nearby shopping, dining and activities that Sandestin, Baytowne Wharf and Destin have to offer.
Why they chose this property
We love the spacious feeling of all of the rooms in this house. Being comfortable and able to spread out and relax in beautiful surroundings is just as important to us as being close to the beach and pool.
